Lahore: The Lahore Chamber of Commerce & Industry has urged the government to address the reservations of commercial importers.
In a statement, the LCCI President Malik Tahir Javaid, Senior Vice President Khawaja Khawar Rashid and Vice President Zeshan Khalil said that the commercial importers were being treated under final tax regime and they were allowed audit exemption on the payment of 6 percent withholding tax. This regime is replaced with minimum tax in the budget. Reassessment of raw material and opening of audit cases of commercial importers has also been proposed in the budget. They said that new proposals were injustice to commercial importers and the same would not be acceptable. They said that commercial importers are also feeding the local industries and their difficulties would also hit the industrial sector hard.
